Experience Meets Advanced Technology
Samsung C&T's E&C Group has a track record of success with projects such as the world-first self-anchored suspension Yeongjong Bridge and the Incheon Bridge, one of the world's top ten cable-stayed bridges. Our expertise in road and bridge construction has enabled our expansion into advanced countries, executing projects such as Australia's West Connex Tunnel and the UK's Mersey Gateway. In the port sector, we have constructed Korea's largest private terminal, Busan New Port, and continue to break new ground globally with our extensive know-how in water resources and large-scale complex development projects, including Yeongju Dam, Han River Restoration Project, Yongsan Remediation Project, and Sihwa MTV Project. In the railway sector, we have participated in a diverse range of railway and subway construction projects worldwide, including the Gyeongbu high-speed railway, and projects in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Taiwan, Singapore, and Hong Kong, reinforcing our position as a world-class enterprise.
Gateway to the World – Incheon Bridge
A Pivotal Infrastructure Asset Solidifying its Role as a 21st-century Northeast Asian Hub
The Largest, The Longest, The Tallest
Incheon Bridge, a bridge that is unparalleled in size, length, and height in Korea
Spanning an impressive 18.247 kilometers in total length (including 12.343 kilometers privately funded and a portion of national government sections, signifying the actual length of the bridge structure), the Incheon Bridge holds the title of Korea's longest bridge. Ranking sixth globally in terms of length, its main span length is measured at 800 meters within the navigation channel section, accommodating large vessels traversing Incheon Port. This makes it Korea's largest and the world's fifth-largest cable-stayed bridge.
230.5m
Main Tower Height Equal to the 63 Building
The cable-stayed bridge design soars above the main navigation channel of Incheon Port. Its maximum span of 800 meters is the fifth-longest globally, while its main tower stands tall at 230.5 meters, the height of the 63 Building.
Engineered to endure a magnitude 7 earthquake without significant oscillations, the bridge is also constructed to withstand winds reaching 200 km/h and typhoon-level storms. A single pile can support up to 6,000 tons, an unparalleled safety standard within Korea.
Typhoon and earthquake resilience
Withstanding Typhoons and Earthquakes
World-class Technological Prowess
To erect the tower, a 3-meter diameter steel pipe was driven into the seabed's soft rock layer to a depth of 60 meters, and reinforcing bars were subsequently inserted into the pipe and filled with concrete, exemplifying world-class techniques such as the largest RDC foundation pile construction technology.
